NBCUniversal has removed four episodes of “30 Rock” from streaming services and syndication that feature characters in blackface. The request for the removal of the episodes came from show co-creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. “As we strive to do the work and do better in regards to race in America, we believe that these episodes featuring actors in race-changing makeup are best taken out of circulation,” said Fey in a statement. “I understand now that ‘intent; is not a free pass for white people to use these images.

Alec Baldwin hit back at President Donald Trump’s rage-tweet “Saturday Night Live” attack, asking whether the president’s “ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE” smear constitutes “a threat to my safety and that of my family.” The actor known for portraying Trump on the comedy show raised the question Sunday night.

In an interview with USA Today just days after taking the supporting role, the 30 Rock actor cited scheduling conflicts.
